The Organizing Committee of CBGA 2014 would like to invite all interested scientists to attend the XX Congress of Carpathian Balkan Geological Association, a jubilee Congress, which will be held from 24 to 26 September 2014 in Tirana, Albania.
Albania, a country in the western Balkans, is noted among other Alpine terrains for its very spectacular outcrop of Jurassic ophiolites which present a complete geological section and host a lot of mineral deposits of Cr, Cu, Fe, etc. Albania has also attracted the interest of several foreign companies for its oil and gas reserves. Thanks to both small surface and good new roads, it can be visited in a few days and you can enjoy the very interesting geology and part of Albania history through the visit of the archaeological centres.
The Organizing Committee is very pleased to announce that, after the first circular was released, a lot of people showed interest to the CBGA2014: Over one hundred Pre-registrations, 24 Proposal for Special Sessions, three Workshops and six programmed Field Trips of which two are just booked.
The participation of the young scientists (PhD, Master and Post-doctoral students) is strongly encouraged by offering possible grants that cover Fee Registration and/or Accommodation. They will have a chance to profit from the experience exchange and enhance their professional knowledge.
Some companies have offered their support and we hope that other ones will do the same. In turn, the sponsors will receive a visibility at CBGA 2014 according to the sponsorship. In addition, there are some opportunities from which sponsors can benefit by including the company literature in delegate packs, showcasing new products and services at their exhibition stand, etc.
The Organizing Committee, supported also by the main Geological Institutions of Albania, will make all the efforts to organize a successful Conference in 2014.
We are looking forward to seeing you in Tirana in 2014!
Information will be posted onto this website as it becomes available.
